Jenny,I can relate!!!! But you know....I really am liking the newer stuff better....it just took awhile...breathe....and know you will figure it out....we are bloggers and we can learn anything!!!!! :)

Well, beins I just went thru the same thing... I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND! My computer croaked and I had to start over! New softward, same problem here! Fortunately, I had backed it up and could pull my pictures which was SO important to me! It gets better day by day:)

hmmm...seems to me it would have been the perfect opportunity to make the leap from PC to mac and never look back. It's so liberating...don't they have a 30day money back thing a ma bob? Do it!! You won't be sorry!!!

So did you go Mac or Windows? And if you went Windows 7, my heart goes out to you. I back up everything now on an external drive, just to make sure I don't lose thousands of scanned images. GL ~thriftshopcommando.blogspot.com

I think they should only release only version of a software when they get it right instead of keep releasing different versions and making us update and update and there's really no end. but we don't really have a choice except, like you said, going back to the old ways of paper and pen...

O.k., so I get it. You're freaking out. BUT would you buy someone airline tickets to fly to Tucson, drive with you to Brunswick, then fly home from Jacksonville just so that person can hook up the computers for you? Would you go that far???? WELLLLL, I did.

That's the way it always is with me. About the time I think I know what I'm doing, something goes wrong, and I have to try to learn to do it a new way. If I weren't so addicted to blogs and email, I'd give it all up. Good luck with the new stuff. laurie

I often wonder what would happen if we all of sudden didn't have all this techno stuff. I start having withdrawals after one day when my computer isn't working!! There would have to be support groups and techno rehab!! I am the first one to sign up!! Cathy

I hear you loud and clear...some of my old softwares don't even work on new machines...I can't stand some of the new softwares they aren't made for my brain and I can't figure out why the makers don't know that. If it makes you feel any better I made my mom switch from Windows to Mac last year and she survived so I bet you will too!!!

I like new things to come in little bits; tiny bitesize bits that I can look at out of the corner of my eye, stroll past with only the briefest of pauses to push the odd button and then, finally, sit down to examine with a mug of hot coffee. I do NOT like change to come in one great big squishy dollop of incomprehensibleness!
